The Wine Advocate Score: 88/100
Herbaceous smoked meat and charcuterie notes are followed by a solidly constructed, medium-bodied wine that finishes somewhat harshly and abruptly. Perhaps I caught it at a difficult stage of development as it is certainly good to very good, but not exceptional. Wine Advocate.February, 2009
Robert Parker Score: 87/100
Tasted blind at Farr Vintners' 2006 horizontal, the 2006 de Fieuzal has a comparatively lighter nose than its peers, brambly red berry fruit, scorched earth and a touch of leather. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a little powdery in texture, but rather conservative with moderate depth on the finish. It has never quite delivered on its promise from barrel, but it should drink well for another decade. Tasted April 2016. May 2016, www.robertparker.com
